The Daily Wrap

Today on the Dish, Andrew live-blogged the CNN foreign policy debate, and we assembled reax here. We weighed the politics of the supercommittee's collapse, Norquist's pledge represents an open conspiracy, and the Pentagon hyped budget apocalypse. Andrew delved into American exceptionalism as campaign proposition, and Huntsman brought American foreign policy back to earth. We unpacked Romney's proven vulnerabilities as he issued a dishonest first attack (an amusing rebuttal here), and the former governor pivoted to Iowa. Another unelectable candidate surged ahead of Romney, and Newt personified "boomer polarization." The president played "multidimensional chess," he echoed an aggressive Truman on taxes, and we previewed his administration's core argument for reelection. In our AAA video, Andrew discussed whether HIV has shaped his politics.
